to them would be like a Cari,tmas without
toys or Fourth OF July minus squibs and
burnt thumbs. So an egg, the emblem OF
future promises, the condensation OF fruitful
ness, 1t fitting symbol OF the age ths, looks
upon 1t with pleasure when 1t is red, and of
the spriDgtide season, when it is given as an
Easter Offering. No one can toll what the
following summer may bring FORTH No one
can tell the possibilities in the young child
receiving the Offering. Nobody knows what's
in the egg.

How Rachel Met Her Death.

Rachel's death blow was dealt by her
performance in LES Horaces" at the
Walnut Street theatre in Philadelphia,
when the thermometer was several
degrees below zero, and when not n fire
was lighted in the house except in the
stars dressing ROOM But Raphael
Felix. the brother of Rachel, was to
blame for that catastrophe. He had
taken the theatre in its entirety, assum-
ing all the expenses of heating. lighting,
etc, and he thought it probably a mas
ter stroke of economy to suppress the
furnace fires, or possibly he did not
trouble his head about them. But
Rachel awOke the next morning, gasping
with pneumonia, and his saving in fuel
resulted ultimately in the death of his
great sister. l was present at that Last
representation, and l shall never forget
it. The cold was intens., in the house as
well as ON the stage. Opposite me SAT
Mrs. James Rush, then tine acknowledged
leader of Philadelphia society, wrapped
in an immense ermine cloak, and she
told me afterward that even i'm spite OF
that fur garment she suffered for days
afterward from bronchitis caught on
that occasion. A young Philadelphia
society beauty, a debutante of the season
before, caught. like Rachel herself, a
fatal cold, and died before the winter
was at an end.-New York World.

a Cautious Publisher.

1t is probable that the first printers did
not take off more than 300 or 800, if so
many, of their work and therefore the
earliest printed books must have been still
dear ON account of the limited number of
their readers. Caxton. as it appears by a
passage in one of his books, was a eau
tious printer and required something like
an assurance that he should sell enough
of any particular book to repay the cost
of producing it. In his Legends of
Saints he says: Il have submysed my
self To translate into English the Legend
of Saints and William Earl
of Arundel, desired me-and promised To
take a reasonable quantity of them-and
sent me a wnrshipful gentleman, promis-
ing that my said lord should during my

Fever On the Wire

The discrepancy between the accounts
of Yellow Jacks ravages as given by the
press reports and the information for
warded to the Surgeon General at Wash
ington, awakened much comment on
yesterday. Our special correspondent
is entirely reliable and is a prominent
and well-known business man i'm Key
West. He has forwarded us ON each
evening the condition of the city during
the day, and we have been assured by
residents that his information was both
correct and full. His kilograms have
been uniformly confirmed by those to
the Associated Press.
Now, however, comes a full contra
diction from Washington, and we are as
sured that our Island City is in danger
of direful epidemic, whose ravages will
continue during all the hot months. III
subsequent information should discredit
this report there will be huge load of
responsibility at somebody's door. Just
as we thought the scare was quietly dy-
ing away, new life is infused into the
hideous frame, and we are again rele-
gated to the dreary work of waiting i'm
uncertainty for the result.

High Life In Royal Circles

The empress of Russia has quite as
vigorous an appetite as any member OF
her family could boast of. But she is an
interchangeable dancer, often firing down
all the aides de camp admitted to her
dancing parties, and she accompanies the
car in his walks and rides. This keeps
her in health If one eats heartily and
does not take it out in strong physical
exertion the ills to which flesh is heir

Royal flesh is within the common law,

their paterrial homes to good situations.

The Royal Family of Prussia.

1t should be borne in mind that our
present emperor entertains very strong
feelings of friendship for the Russian inn
perial family-feelings which have been
deeply rooted in him from his youth up,
SO that only the most imperative circum-
stances would drive him to make war on
Russia, The crown prince, on the other
hand, Is very cool in his relations with
his Russian relatives; and for France,
under its present form of government,
he has even decided aversion. He would
not pay so much heed as his father to the
petty irritabilities Of the French, which
find expression in such various forms,
and it will probably be an injured suscep-
tibility of this kind which will afford the
outward pretext for the next war. The
crown prince, too. is said 20 be of the
opinion that a war with France We're
better to-day than later on
In his wife, the crown prince has at
his side one who not only shares his feel
ings, but has always encouraged them.
She is the true daughter of her father
the prince consort of England-to whose
memory she clings with tender love, and
as such she can cherish no affection either
for Russia or France. Although in PrIIs-
STA the influence of women on the course
of politics has not yet made itself felt. still
it is not improbable that, in family life so
close as that which exists between the
crown prince and his wife, and in the
case of n woman OF such mental activity,
the political opinions of the crown
princess sometimes fall on fertile soil.
An energetic member of the war party
is the crown princes son, Prince VIII
helm, the future Kaiser Wilhelm III.
Heart and soul a soldier, he grew to man
hood during the period of Germany s
military glory and unification- Filled
with all the fire of youth and eager for
action, he is thoroughly convinced that a
great war is necessary for the strengthen
ing and maintenance of the empire He
had rather draw the sword to-day than
tomorrow. - Paris Cor. Kansas City

To the West.

There are indications that Palatka will
soon become n great railroad center, and
we should not forget the future entirely
in our desire to be generous in the pres
ent. The roads now operating in Florida
have been most generously received by
our people and they can well endure the
period of depression under which they
now suffer for the sake of the golden
gains which will surely come to them
when the State has the population de-
manded by its extent of valuable lands,
its wealth of understandable productions
and the Importance in the commercial
world which its situation and climate
will ensure for us.
But Just now we must insist on direct
connection with the West as most i'm
portant to us. Several roads are casting
longing eyes towards South Florida, and
each realizes that these must be drawn
out through Palatka. The Florida
Southern speaks of continuation to
Jacksonville, but that road must build
new routes to the south before it dare
look northward. 1t is being crowded
out of the territory it has claimed for its
peculiar property, and only energetic
and forceful action can now atone for
past N istakes which threaten to be fatal.
In this condition of things, we must
look elsewhere, and it might be well to
consider the future as well as the pres
ent in searching for way out of our
difficulties.
Let us be prepared TO receive with sub
stantiai inducements the lines which
can give us an outlet for the riches
which shorter roads with State connec-
tons shall bring us from the tropic re-
gions to the South. Let US be patient
only little while and be grateful for
the past without mortgaging our hopes
Tor the future. IL is a iamentable fact
mar one-fhird of our .freights from Chi
ed9o are paid for the .tfty-sir mile haul
oefaeen us and Jacksonville. While
this continues we cannot hope for the
establishment of any wholesale houses in
Paiatka-neither can we look for free
dom from this deadly incubus to any in
huence now acting in our favor Our
Board of Trade as well as our citizens
generally may as well accept this fact in
all ITS horrid ugliness and direct every
energy to the work of freeing ourselves
rom tins weight without wasting our
efforts IN isolated attempts which allevi-
ate the evil for n short time but have
not potency to cure the disease.

The Bridge Again.

We have already printed communi-
cation from General Bentley in refer
encc to his position ON the bridge ques-
ton, and now to reporter of the Ners-
Herald he states the position of others
prominently interested. He says Presi-
dent White, of the st. Johns and Hall
fax road, first obtained permission to
make connection with the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West Railway opposite
Rolleston, ana subsequently Major Nc
Laughlin wanted to arrange to bring the
Aston road across the river over the
Rolleston bridge, and General Bentley
agreed to give him the same facilities he
had consented to afford Mr.. White. 1t
was next decided, it appears, to bring the
White road further down the river and
cross from Harris Point to the Jackson
vile, Tampa and Key West docks. Maj.
Conant, of the Florida Southern, seems
here to have come in, and Palatka is
now considering whether it would per-
init bridge to be built across the river
as far down rs the Florida Southern
Railways docks. From an article i'm
yesterdays PALATKA News it would APP
pear that a bridge would not be suffered
to cross the river lower down than the
one first mentioned. The movement
would seem to Indicate the probability
of n coming union depot at Palatka.
80 far as General Bentley knew Mr..
White had not finally decided where to
cross the river, nor did he know Just
what MIR. White intended doing. The
story of the absorption however, was a
canard."
We understand the position of the
bridge will finally depend on the prefer
ences of Mr. White.
